England captain Eoin Morgan praised Chris Woakes, Jos Buttler and Liam Plunkett for getting his side "out of a hole" as the first one-day international against Sri Lanka ended in a thrilling tie.

Set 287 to win, England collapsed to 30 for four and 82 for six in Nottingham on Tuesday.

But a stand of 138 between Buttler (93) and man-of-the-match Woakes, who made 95 not out -- the highest ODI score by any number eight batsman -- revived the innings.
